    One of those "hecklers" shouted "Jesus is Lord!", and yes, Harris correctly replied that he was at the wrong rally.

    According to a report from the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel's Laura
    Schulte, the people were escorted from Harris' rally about 20 minutes
    into the vice president's speech and were shouting "Jesus is Lord" at
    other attendees on their way out of the room.

    "Oh, you guys are at the wrong rally," Harris said in response to the interruptions.

    "No, I think you meant to go to the smaller one down the street," she
    quipped.

    Right. Christians are avowed monarchists. What are they doing at a
    rally promoting democracy?

    But, they don't understand the business community is not going to let
    them have a free hand.

    Here they are, wheeling and dealing, with immoral people in order to
    get a few favors.

    What happened with Stalin's son?

    After his father died in 1953, Vasily lost his authority, developed
    severe alcohol dependency, and was ultimately arrested and sent to
    prison. He was later granted clemency, though he spent the remainder
    of his life between imprisonment and hospitalization until he died in
    1962. Wiki

    There is more free speech in Russia and more capitalism in China than
    there is in America.

    While the Russian constitution provides for the freedom of speech of

    more capitalism in China than there is in America.

    The most capitalist nations are:

    Singapore.
    Switzerland.
    Ireland.
    Taiwan.
    New Zealand.
    Estonia.
    Luxembourg.
    Netherlands.

    The United States is a capitalist country but is also considered a
    mixed market economy. This means it combines capitalist principles
    with government intervention and regulation.

    How do they measure and what is their definition of capitalist? Is it
    small state only and low taxes or do they take a more comprehensive
    stance? Netherlands and Ireland have enormously high taxes, so I wouln't
    count those countries as capitalist. Singapore and Switzerland are ninjas! Would definitely count them as capitalist.

    Luxembourg is tricky. On the surface I think they have fairly high taxes,
    but they have lots of delicious loopholes which does make it low tax for millionaires.

    I would not be so quick to dismiss Anonymous post. What he could be
    saying, is that the ideal we should aim for is a libertarian society
    without a government, instead of a system where a minority is constantly
    nad brutally exploited by the majority.

    That's at least my interpretation of the post.
